Abstract
The method relates to a method for filling a container () with carbonized liquid filling material and for closing the filled container, in which the filling material is introduced in a filling station () by a filling head () at defined filling pressure into the container (), wherein the filling head () is firstly moved from an idle position, which permits supplying and inserting a container () into the filling station (), into a working position toward the inserted container, in which an end region () of the filling head seals off the opening () of the container, the container () is then filled, the filling head () is moved after completion of the filling phase back out of the working position into an idle position spaced apart from the container () and the container () is then closed in the filling station () using a cap () at least enough that filling material can no longer escape, and the container () is then removed from the filling station (), characterized in that before the movement of the filling head () from the working position into the idle position spaced apart from the container (), an overpressure lying between the ambient pressure and the filling pressure is set in a pressure chamber () of the filling station () surrounding the opening () of the inserted container (), which overpressure is selected in such a way that possible foaming up of the filling material located in the container () is minimized enough that filling material does not escape from the container () when the filling head () is raised out of the working position after the filling procedure.
